Michael: You know your fans hate you in pink, right?
Hala: Hehehehehe. Yes.






(watching clips of the previous pic)
Michael: Wow, Hala, pink's not your best color.
Hala: My fans love me anyway.





Michael: I'm just saying...
Hala: You're questioning me? What? What exactly are you saying?





Off camera person: You're losing the title of prettiest CNN anchor to Andrea.
Hala: Say what?






Michael: Told you.
Hala: Oh, like you're the most popular male anchor. Anderson Cooper, anyone?





Hala: Come on, Mike, tell me how you're cuter than Anderson.
Michael: Um... I'm Aussie?





Hala: I saw Anderson on The Colbert Report and he was pretty funny. Than you'll ever be.
Michael: (to himself) I'm cuter, I'm sure of it.





Off-camera person: Guys, you're on air.
Hala/Michael: Oh, hahahaha. We're kidding. Having some laughs.





Hala: And that, kids, is why you never make fun of me wearing pink.

what she's thinking

Hala's black turtleneck, effectively borrowing Steve Jobs' look: "This doesn't need ironing."

Hala with Michael and Mark, delivering the football headline on the Colts' winning streak: "I have no idea what I'm talking about. More importantly, I don't care."

Hala having worked since Thursday and my only making commentary today: "I don't show, she's all whiny. I show up, she takes it for granted. Fan, my..."

Hehe.


A friend of mine noted that for the Chief International Correspondent who's so connected to Middle Eastern affairs, Christiane Amanpour was nowhere to be found during Eye on the MidEast. Huh. Maybe she's finally on vacation.

And, Hala's going to the Hajj again! Who gets the better deal: CNN, who has a pretty face to guarantee viewers, or Hala, who gets to get out of the studio?

I think I'm going to have a new round of Monita envy when she starts that new monthly programme next year. Luxury something.
And what is (was?) Max Foster doing at the New York Stock Exchange?
